Jensen woke first but Jared wasn't far behind.
The boys made the bed
While the family were eating breakfast, I decided I would invite the teens' partners over
Mikezumi's waking wish was to train on the MA dummy and Amery's waking wish was to fish.
Drew's waking wish was to garden! I like it when kids roll useful wishes
Beckah rolled a wish to buy a new recipe. She left just as Jared was stepping outside. I like to think he was seeing his daughter off
Chance's waking wish was to hang out with Jensen.
Drew also had a wish to break a board locked in from the previous day.
I found Jensen playing his keyboard in the bathroom.
I saw Jared approaching Chance and was happy to see that he had asked him to play catch
After Amery caught a few fish, he practised dunking
Iggy, Trinity and Merlin arrived at the same time
The teens autonomously danced together I have never seen Beckah dance before so Merlin must be responsible.
I didn't hear any woohoo so I think Jensen was just taking his morning shower. They must have been flirting beforehand and Jared hadn't decided on his next action yet.
Although Amery had stopped playing BB to chat with Trinity when she arrived, it didn't take long for them to go their separate ways. Amery went back to the hoop and Trinity fished.
Although I have picked a partner for Drew, he doesn't know it yet. I will either wait until the next Prom or until he has been a teen a while longer. He was reading a book on the couch when Jensen came over to watch TV. I had him put the book away and join his dad
I saw Chance about to go down on one knee and quickly zoomed in!
Just as I took my last pic of the boys getting engaged, I got a popup that Amery had mastered the athletic skill!
Although I was zoomed in to Amery, I still had Chance's portrait selected and saw that he was trying for baby! Good thing I don't have teen pregnancy turned on!
I didn't see Amery stop playing BB and was too late to get a pic but I got a popup that he and Trinity were now engaged! I don't know who asked and won't find out until they marry and see what name they get. To think I thought that Amery needed help in the romance department!
I found Chance boasting about to Marlin about his good looks while his dads were getting ready for another woohoo
Drew had a wish to make waffles locked in since breakfast. Jensen let Jared clean the counter this time
It would seem that Marlin is a virtuoso
I'm going to enjoy watching these two dancing when they grow up
Trinity had been playing on the computer when I saw Jared approach her. I went into map view and saw from his tag that he was asking her about a partner.
Trinity: "Actually, I'm engaged to your son, Amery."
Jared: "But he's just a kid!"
Mikezumi and Drew were both trying to get to Marlin for a chat but Mikezumi somehow got stuck in the piano!
After chatting, both Trinity and Jared headed to the BB hoop. Jared got there first
Trinity and Iggy ate outside because I forgot to bring out the small table.
Jensen, Merlin and Iggy fought over the dishes.
Amery had a wish to watch the stars with Trinity. Just in case it didn't happen by itself, I had him ask her after dinner.
These two need no help! I caught Chance trying for baby immediately after this!
I gave Beckah a little help as well. Poor Iggy had been trying to do his homework since arriving
I guess these two will do just fine because I found them watching the stars again and it looks like Trinity instigated it
After Marlin left, I sent Beckah to the beach behind the house to catch a bug
Jensen must have stopped Jared's BB game for woohoo.
They ended up in the hot tub and Jensen cuddled Jared for a moment before Jared headed off to bed. It was nearly midnight so the boys were probably exhausted.
Because the boys went to bed late they were still asleep when the family had breakfast.
The boys woke not long after the others finished eating. Beckah's waking wish was to hang out with Jared so I had her sit with her dads while they ate.
Chance woke with a wish to practise MA and Drew woke with a wish to spar with someone - perfect!
Amery woke with a wish to catch a great fish. It seems all his morning wishes are to do with fishing
Jared wandered off to play on the computer and let Jensen take care of the dishes
When he was done with the dishes, Jensen went straight to Jared
The glowing red orb on the shower has been driving me insane for about a sim week so I was relieved when Jared triggered it! The boys mostly use the other shower or the outdoor one.
Yellow hair does not suit Jared! LMAO
I got a tad carried away trying to get a good facial expression from Jared so I will put these in a spoiler. Only look at them if you want to see Jared spam :P
The boys made both their own and Mikezumi's bed ... several times
More flowers! Jared is the hopeless romantic so I don't know why Jensen keeps buying the flowers!
Mikezumi finished another ice sculpture. I read the challenges and it seems she needs to do 25 ice sculptures in order to make ones that don't melt. Not sure I feel up to that!
Nikolas Frio came home with Drew
The boys are so excited about doing their homework they are running!
Beckah and Chance got home later because of after school activities.
As with all visitors, there's never a shortage of sims lining up to talk
I checked Nikolas' favourite food (Shawarma) with MC and had Mikezumi prepare it for dinner
Jensen stepped aside this time and let Jared do the dishes
Mikezumi had a wish to take a photo with a friend. As I was lining up the shot, Nikolas photobombed. He was on his way to chat with Jensen.
Drew autonomously went to the board breaker (he has the disciplined trait) and Chance had a wish to level up locked in since the morning.
Amery autonomously fished but Beckah was fishing because she has a wish locked in to master the skill and I wanted to keep her out of the way
Nikolas watched TV with Mikezumi
Chance leveled up
I saw movement from the corner of my eye. It was John Herrerra coming to the lot to fish in the family pond.
Jared and Jensen both went to invite John inside.
But the poor boy was tired so I sent him home with MC.
The boys had some alone time - Jensen played computer games while Jared watched TV.
When Amery's not fishing, he's playing BB!
Jensen woke a few minutes before Jared and waited for him to get up so he could blow him a kiss
The boys watched the pre-dawn stars
Chance woke up in a bad mood ... CANCELLED!
All the kids rolled wishes to learn the recipe for French Toast but that would take more cooking lessons than I could fit in before they grow up! Not sure why French Toast requires level 9 cooking!
Jensen cleared the dishes.
Amery woke with a wish to do a cardio exercise, so I sent him for a jog.
Beckah rolled a wish to do an ice sculpture while she was at art class the previous day. I cancelled it even though it was worth 1,000 LTR because I don't really want her sculpting but when she rolled the wish again on waking I decided to do it just to keep her out of my hair (and everyone else's!).
Chance woke with a wish to spar with someone. Amery watched Chance and Mikezumi when he got back from his jog.
Although I didn't take a pic, Drew meditated for half an hour before I sent him to water the garden. There were only 3 plants that needed watering so I knew he could do it before the school bus arrived.
The bus had to wait a few minutes for Chance to finish sparring but the kids made it to school on time. Mikezumi won the match and leveled up
I checked on the boys while Mikezumi finished the gardening. Jensen was playing the guitar and Jared was playing chess
At about 9.30 Jared ran out the door and got on his bike. The kids had a field trip and he got the job of chaperone
Thanks to @polrbear I learned a new trick and am able to follow my boys around by right clicking on their portraits Jared got to the school early and was first on the bus for the field trip
I don't know why they take a bus for field trips to the Bistro, Police Station and Theatre because it takes them longer to board the bus than it would to run to those places. Only my teens went.
The kids got home early because of the field trip. When Mikezumi finished a painting and went to Jensen to share a joke, I let her because he had been playing the guitar all day and her social bar was getting low.
Jared got home just as the kids were finishing up their homework. Move aside Mikezumi! Jared's home!
Amery came home with a wish to spar and Chance had a wish to level up locked in. I miss the exciting sparring matches from my 5x5 family!
The boys took a shower together Chaperoning must be dirty work
Drew also came home with a wish to spar with someone. Mikezumi was handy
When Jensen came out of the bathroom he stopped to watch the match. "Don't hurt her! She cooks our meals!" He didn't have to worry - Mikezumi won!
I found Jared tutoring Amery in the backyard.
When Mikezumi finished her sparring match I had her prepare some sushi because it was getting late and sushi requires no cooking
Jared cleared the dishes this time
While the kids were doing their homework, I got a Prom notice. I will be sending all of them but only arranging a date for Drew. I can't stand Prom but it makes it easier to get the kids hooked up with the partners I have chosen and the three older teens already have partners. I saw that May Lothario was at the park with her siblings, Marlin and Melanie, so I sent Drew over. He now has a date for the Prom
Amery had been talking to his dad but got pushed aside
Back at the park, Drew and May watched the stars before I turned romance off for her
I didn't realize the Lothario teens were at the park with their dad because I didn't recognize Don in his work uniform.
That's better!
Beckah got her wish! This triggered two more wishes, both worth a lot of LTR but they got cancelled. She already has 2 big wishes locked in and needs to work on those before growing up.
I decided all the kids should go to the park. When Amery got there he pulled out his phone and chatted with Noel Frio. I need to see if there is a Retuner setting for that!
Melanie asked Amery to watch the stars but he knocked her back. Good boy!
I quickly checked back on the boys and they were doing fine Mikezumi was painting as she had a wish to level up locked in.
Drew got to know his future father-in-law
I keep forgetting to tune tutoring out!
The boys watched the stars before bed
Jared woke first and went straight to the chess table. Jensen would have stood by the bed staring at him if it were the other way round
He played for about half an hour before Jensen woke and came out for him
Flirting led to the hot tub, where they stayed until Mikezumi called them to breakfast.
Drew woke up in a bad mood. I couldn't get a decent pic because the sleepwear is an adult to teen conversion and it looks like his head is about to fall off on some angles.
He had a wish to hang out with Chance so I let them chat before they went to breakfast. They are such serious looking boys!
Jensen cleared the dishes.
Amery woke with a wish to prepare a meal so I had him make a quick cheese plate. It looks like Jared and Jensen have been slacking off because the counter doesn't turn black unless it has been ignored for a while! When Amery was done, he rolled a wish to hire a butler. If you don't want to cook, don't roll wishes!
I noticed the garden needed more plants, so I had Chance plant a few things while Drew watered.
Beckah's waking wish was to paint something brilliant. I knew she couldn't finish a painting before school but I got her started on one anyway. I rarely lock in wishes to paint something brilliant or a masterpiece because I don't like wishes hanging around for a long time unless they are really big. 750 LTR is not worth the effort, especially since sims will roll many small wishes during the day that can be instantly granted. She also rolled a wish to level up in sculpting but that one was cancelled and the sculpting station is in the family inventory.
Mikezumi is still working on her wish to level up.
Chance played his guitar when he had finished planting the seeds
The boys were ready for more woohoo once the dishes were cleared
I found them in the basement so I can safely assume they had been woohooing in the elevator
It would seem that once was not enough
They went from the elevator to the bed! I need to get these boys into a cold shower! LOL
They finally had enough!
And they were still doing their own thing when Amery and Beckah got home from school.
Since he likes fishing so much and his inventory is full of fish, I had Amery prepare some fish and chips for dinner.
Beckah came home with a wish to do a cardio exercise.
This is something I rarely see in my game!
Chance and Drew had after school classes so came home late.
Chance came home with a wish to play the guitar. He also had a wish locked in from the morning to learn a new song. I had sent Mikezumi to the bookstore during the day to buy music for him
Drew came home from school wish a wish to set a booby trap.
Beckah got her brilliant painting wish by finishing this masterpiece!
Although you can't see it, Jared is sending off green fumes! The family all had negative moodlets.
It didn't stop Mikezumi from enjoying her favourite meal
Drew's reaction was a hoot!
I had one of the kids distract Jensen so that Jared could get himself cleaned up. A bath would not have been my choice. Who wants to sit in one's own filth?
I had Chance read the recipe for fish and chips and it triggered a wish to prepare some
I bought Mikezumi some bubble bath and let her soak until tranquil If I'd known it would take two hours, I would have let her shower instead
I saw the boys heading out the door together
Unlike his brother, Chance didn't burn his fish and chips
I am trying to get Chance as many skills as possible before he grows up and becomes uncontrollable.
I saw from Amery's thumbnail that he was discussing fine cuisine. I nearly choked on my tea given his earlier blunder in the kitchen!
Amery rolled a wish to fish before 6am. I will be sad when he grows up and moves out
The boys woke at the same time and Jensen went straight to Jared
It's the boys' birthday and I am a little sad that they will lose their youthful beauty
The boys "made the bed"
The family had waffles for breakfast and Chance rolled a wish to make some. I held on to that wish until after school.
Boys! The dishes need to be cleared!
Drew had a wish to catch a vampire fish so I had him fish with garlic. Mikezumi had a wish to catch a great fish and Chance had a wish to fish.
Amery didn't have a waking wish because I had woken him early to fish. I had him water the garden and it triggered a wish to level up.
Beckah woke with a wish to prepare a meal so I had her make pancakes.
The dishes are still there, boys!
Beckah ended up clearing the dishes before she went to school. After Jared got tired of playing chess, he took Jensen down to the basement for woohoo.
At 12 Mikezumi went to the bookstore for an opportunity to improve her logic skill.
I saw §40 being deducted from the family funds
The boys played catch when they were done in the basement.
Chance came home first.
When Mikezumi got home she had a wish to make Sleeping Elixir.
Chance had a wish to use the telescope.
I had him cook the waffles he rolled a wish for while the other teens were doing their homework.
Because there were two birthdays, I got started as soon as the kids had finished their homework.
I'm scared too, Jensen!
He still looks good but has lost his boyishness!
After cake, it was Jared's turn.
I thought he looked a little like Arnold Schwarzenegger here! LOL
Mikezumi doesn't look sure about eating a second serving of cake!
As soon as Mikezumi finished her second helping of cake, she went to Pedro Herrerra's party.
Back at home, Drew went for a jog because he came home from school with a wish to do a cardio exercise.
When Chance finished his cake, I teleported him to the party.
The boys don't seem to mind being older
Becky was there too!
It's a good thing that Mikezumi was still at the party because she would normally go to bed shortly after 10 and the boys were using her bed!
When I saw that Mikezumi had lost interest in the party and was reading a book, I let Chance finish his conversation and sent them home.
As I was getting ready to save my game for the day, I saw Shark Racket was fishing in the family pond
Jared woke first and was trying to contemplate his surroundings but something must have been in the way. It didn't matter because Jensen woke soon after and took his mind of it
The boys watched the pre-dawn stars
I saw the boys heading towards Shark Racket who had been fishing in the family pond but Mikezumi called them to breakfast before they could invite him inside.
Amery got left out when Mikezumi called the family to breakfast but there were spare servings so he didn't go without
Drew got to clear the dishes because his dads were busy, Mikezumi was preparing a perfect quality meal as per her waking wish and Amery was heading out to work on his gardening skill wish.
Chance's waking wish was to practice MA.
Beckah's waking wish was to weed the plants.
Once the kids had gone to school and Mikezumi had finished the gardening, she and the boys went to the bowling alley.
Jensen didn't get to bowl for long because the beautiful Stein arrived and wanted to chat with him
Once Jensen's game had been interrupted, it didn't take long for him to seek out Jared. Before he turned to Jensen, he finished his shot.
Stein didn't seem too happy about his shot
It went better than he thought
I was surprised the boys didn't make use of the photobooth. Instead, Jensen bowled while Jared watched
Shark Racket arrived and interrupted Jensen's game and Jared took advantage of it to start another game. He didn't get to finish, though, because it was almost time to go home.
Christin Racket was meant to come home with Beckah but when I checked her tag she was at Art Class so I sent the kids home without her.
Amery got home late because he had Sports.
Christin finally arrived but didn't get to do much of her homework because it was Prom night and she got in the limo with my teens.
I thought that Drew's date was a no-show but she arrived after the limo did.
Only Drew had a date since the others are already going steady and I wasn't going to let them stay long anyway.
Mikezumi ended up eating alone because the boys were busy woohooing.
The green tags are my teens. The school was packed! Drew was voted King and is now going steady with May and Beckah was voted Queen. I got a silly pop-up that Beckah had approached her crush and was knocked back but I deleted the negative moodlet because I know there is no way on God's green earth that any sim would knock back one of mine!
When the kids' hunger bars were too low for my comfort, I sent them home for dinner.
While I was organizing the kids, the boys happily entertained each other
Mikezumi had an invitation to Jared Frio's party and she took Chance and Drew.
While talking with the other guests, Chance rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend My boys are sooooo handsome
When the boys got home from the party, I had them rescue their dads from the hot tub because it was getting close to 11pm.
Chance wanted to fish before 6am. He woke up with mood swings.
Fishing soon cheered him up ... that and removing the moodlet
Jensen woke about half an hour before Jared and went straight to the piano.
When Jared woke up he went straight outside and mopped up the puddle by the hot tub! It's too late to hide the evidence now, Jared! We all saw you!
Then he went inside to Jensen
Which ended up in them making the bed
It's Saturday morning and I really hate weekends because they can be hectic when the house is full. I have decided I will invite over Trinity, Marlin and Iggy. I won't be inviting May because Drew is still too young to have a girlfriend even though he is going steady with her courtesy of the Prom.
Watering the garden didn't quite get Amery leveled up so I had him fertilize a few plants and that did the trick
Beckah and Drew had wishes to go fishing.
Chance has a wish to reach level 8 in cooking locked in. That will take some time but he should get there while still a teen.
When he was done, he went to the piano and I left him alone because his fun bar needed filling.
Once the dishes were cleared, Jensen and Jared had their morning shower
Trinity and Marlin were easy to find but it took a while to find Iggy. He was fishing clear over the other side of town!
Jensen interrupted Trinity and Amery to tell a joke. Amery looks a little embarrassed ... dad jokes!
Considering how far Iggy had to come, he got to the house not long after the others!
Chance keeps trying for baby! It should be interesting when he is a YA and unselectable!
Drew broke a lot of boards! Maybe I should have invited May over to relieve his frustration Not sure why Amery was in the hot tub. He doesn't normally use it.
I saw Jared heading outside. He was talking with Trinity who had been hanging out in the sand pit. They must have hit it off last time she visited.
When Mikezumi finished her painting, I found her watching Drew break boards and when I told Amery to get out of the hot tub he joined her.
After talking with Trinity at the sand pit, they headed inside for a pillow fight! I knew I should have tuned that out!
It didn't end well!
Lesson not learned! She was pillow fighting with Jensen next!
This also ended badly!
I've never seen Chance playing basketball before! I wonder if Mikezumi got to him and told him to improve his skills. Jared and Beckah were playing catch.
Iggy was reading on Chance's bed. Maybe he was escaping the madness!
I saw Drew getting upset and went into map view to see what the problem was. He had the creeped out moodlet because Marlin was speaking madness. I probably shouldn't have had Mikezumi leave crazy drinks on the bar with teens visiting!
So much for escaping the madness! It followed him into the bedroom!
I brought the outdoor table inside so everyone could eat together.
Amery had a wish to watch the stars with Trinity so I helped him out
Mikezumi and Chance attended a party thrown by Connor Shark Racket and his wife were also there
I checked back home and all was well
Trinity had asked Amery to watch the stars as well
Mikezumi was enjoying herself
Chance rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend. I chose Connor
Chance was very pleased with himself
When Chance and Mikezumi got home from the party, they got Jensen and Jared out of the hot tub before heading off to bed.
This time it was Beckah with a wish to fish before 6am
Jared woke first and went to the bookcase in the kids' room which triggered lots of wishes to talk to him. Easy wishes to grant over breakfast
When Jensen woke a little later and came to flirt with Jared, there were also a couple of wishes to talk to him triggered. I like instant wishes!
The boys managed to get to the elevator for woohoo just before Mikezumi called the family to breakfast.
Amery got his wish to talk to Jared over breakfast but not the one to talk to Jensen. I had him do that while Jared cleared the dishes.
Drew woke with a wish to grow an outstanding lettuce plant and Chance watered the garden because I want him well skilled before I make him unselectable.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to paint something brilliant. When she started the painting, she rolled a wish to paint something worth more than §350. She only got the second wish when she completed it. Better than nothing.
I like her previous painting so I will hang this in her room.
The boys took their morning shower
Amery's waking wish was to fish. I just locked it in and let him take care of it himself Drew has a wish to catch every type of fish locked in. He needs about 4 more to complete it but he did manage to master fishing during the morning
My game is often a little laggy on weekends, probably because sims are not working and are being pushed all over town, so I missed the floating simoleon signs over Chance's head when he learned how to make fruit parfait. His waking wish was to finish a book. Beckah was reading autonomously.
When Chance finished the recipe book, I had him prepare some pancakes for future use. Beckah got up to clean the counter. Drew and Amery were still fishing and Mikezumi is painting off screen. Jared and Jensen were doing what they do best
When the boys had had their fill they went their separate ways. I got a popup that Jared had mastered logic which means he has now completed his LTW
Mikezumi's painting is adorable is definitely a keeper
Because her social bar needed topping up, I had Mikezumi join Jared at the chess table.
Amery must have got tired of fishing and I found him working out on the barre.
I felt it was too quiet for a Sunday so decided to send the family to the park. Jensen and Jared somehow got left at home They had been woohooing just before the family left so the action must have been cancelled.
The park was unusually quiet and only Connor and his son Nikolas were there. The park had been much busier when I looked in map view earlier in the day.
I checked back home and the boys were doing their own thing.
I had planned to have the family go out for dinner after visiting the park but I sent everyone home to eat instead because Jensen and Jared don't have more than hidden childhood cooking skills. There are lots of leftovers in the fridge but I know from an earlier ISBI I played that sims will not always use those, preferring to try to cook for themselves and generally not until they are in the red.
After the dishes had been cleared, I let the family do what they wanted.
Which means lots of drinking in Chance's case
Beckah interrupted his drinking to boast about her gaming skillz. From the pained look in Chance's face, I think he probably needs a few more drinks before dealing with his sister Oops, that could just be a case of projection on my part
Jared and Jensen did what they normally do
Mikezumi's social bar was getting low from starting another painting so I had Amery come chat with her before she went to bed.
Drew stopped training to talk to his brother and rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend
They must have enjoyed it!
Jared woke first and was just about to go into the kids' room to get a book when Jensen woke up and came after him
Sweet relief! The weekend is over!
While eating breakfast, Mikezumi rolled a wish to give Amery a friendly hug. He has only one day left as teen
Chance had a wish to catch a vampire fish so I sent him fishing with garlic. He didn't catch one before school but he had a wish to talk to Jensen which was fulfilled over breakfast. Drew can be seen in the background working on his waking wish to paint. Painting triggered a wish to level up which he managed to do before the bus came
Beckah's waking wish was to level up in sculpting. I cancelled it but fortunately she got a wish to talk to Jared fulfilled over breakfast. I had her water the plants in the hope she would roll a wish to level up but she didn't.
Amery's waking wish was to go swimming. Easy!
The boys took their morning shower in the backyard
Jensen then went to watch TV and Jared went to the kids' room to get a book which he read beside Jensen
He must have finished the book
Surprisingly the flirting didn't lead to woohoo.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to sculpt something in ice. She completed the Prolific Sculptor challenge and sculpting materials are now free
Amery came home alone because the others had after school classes.
While at school, Amery rolled a wish to watch the stars with Trinity so I invited her over when he had finished his homework.
Beckah, Chance and Drew worked on their homework together when they got home.
Drew came home with a wish to catch a bug.
Chance leveled up in piano at Music Class and rolled a wish to learn a new song. He also wanted to do a cardio exercise so I had him go for a jog first, then learn a song. Beckah chatted with Trinity while Amery and Drew chatted. Drew expressed his fondness for Amery Jensen and Jared played catch in the backyard.
Although neither boy wished it, I had them spar because I knew they would enjoy it and they had time to kill while Mikezumi cooked dinner.
Mikezumi had prepared frog legs and Beckah, Chance and Amery rolled wishes to learn the recipe. I gave it to them with MC because there is no way they are going to Champs Les Sims
Mikezumi rolled a wish to visit the library so I sent her on her own. When she arrived, she rolled a wish to finish a book. Not that she hasn't finished about a 100 already!
When I zoomed back to the house to check on the family, I saw that Chance and Beckah had caught fish at the same time Chance was still working on his wish to catch a vampire fish and Beckah is working on wishes to master fishing and to catch all types of fish.
Amery got his wish
While watching the stars, Amery rolled a wish to chat with Trinity so I had him do that before sending her home as it was after 9. Because he had rolled a wish to level up in MA while sparring with Drew I had him train on the dummy. Drew, being disciplined, can often be found breaking boards or training on the dummy
@Mikezumi Found you! I think I caught up with your posts.
Oh, no! Bummer about the pillow fighting. Wish that didn't happen as I don't have mean sims, and I know you don't either. It should be trait related.
I liked the picture of the girl in the tree at first glance and then did this double take and realize there is a big bad critter crawling up it towards her. DAG! run girl!
Bummer the boys didn't go to the park. I think you can do an invite with MC and get them there if you wanted to try that. It doesn't always work if the sim is working or just being ornery! I've done it a few times before I controlled Adam to get him to where I wanted him to show up when the phone call didn't work.
I love weekends in my saves. I love not having the kids rush to school and doing homework and being able to take them to the beach or one of my parks. It is usually busier, but can spam certain park activities for a few, while I watch the others.
Love the pics of Drew and the butterfly. Pretty scenery in the background.
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
I think that is meant to be a nice monster in the tree with the girl. He looks kind of love sick to me and she is smiling
I didn't think of that! If I take the boys on an outing again and they don't tag along I will try a MC invite. Thanks for the tip.
I also love weekends because I love having the kids at home but it sooooo busy and a sim day takes forever because I want to look at what everyone is doing. What I don't like is trying to work out what pics should be shared because there are generally way too many I guess I make a rod for my own back by letting them mostly do what they want
Jared woke first and got all the way to the book shelf in the kids' room before Jensen woke and tracked him down
They watched the stars instead of woohooing - that's one for the books
Because both Jared and Jensen had been in the kids' bedroom many wishes to talk to their dads were rolled. Nice and easy wishes to grant before school
Although Mikezumi doesn't look it, she is thrilled to finally be able to wear clothes she likes!
I sent Drew out to water the garden. It didn't trigger any wishes to level up but he leveled up to 5 anyway
Mikezumi's waking wish was to paint something worth more than §500 and Amery was working on his wish to skill up from the previous day.
Finally! It took 2 days for Chance to catch a vampire fish When he got his wish he rolled another to master fishing. He's over half way through level 9 so it shouldn't take too long
Beckah woke with a wish to sculpt but I cancelled it. Fortunately she had wishes to talk to both dads so she got two wishes before school. She chose to read before the school bus came.
The boys took their morning shower together
After woohooing the boys did their own thing.
The kids had a field trip to the Theatre. Emma was chaperone.
Although there are lots of teens at their school, only my teens attended.
Mikezumi's first painting wasn't worth enough so I had her start another and the boys continued to do their own thing for hours.
I was concerned that Jared might be smelly after playing BB for so long so I had Mikezumi interrupt him. She didn't get a negative moodlet so she must have stopped him in time.
Because Mikezumi interrupted his game, Jared remembered Jensen
Amery was the only one not running! He must know it's his last homework ever and is savouring the moment
It would seem that the boys woohooed because Jensen was dressed when I last saw him
I have no idea why teens need to do homework on their birthday. It's not like they are going to school to hand it in I do make them do it, however, because I have had kids not grow up well because they missed their last homework
I saw Jared heading to the bathroom. Although he wasn't stinky yet, he must have been getting close.
Amery came home from school with a wish to finish a book so I had him read the recipe for fruit parfait. It never hurts to have a few recipes under the belt when heading off on their own. My spares usually prepare better meals at parties than the other townies.
The family gathered around for Amery's birthday.
Amery is such a beautiful teen so I hope he ages well!
Interesting look! LOL
So much better! After I closed the game, I realized I gave Amery the wrong hair. It is very similar so I figure it will do.
Mikezumi had an invitation to Daniella Hendrix's party. She took Amery and Chance with her.
Mikezumi went inside and prepared a cheese plate and the boys chatted outside. Becky was there as well
Although Pauline was making funny faces with Chance, she and Amery got hearts. Because Becky was standing on her own, I teleported Beckah there to meet her.
Pedro Herrerra joined the boys to gossip. @Charlottesmom Becky didn't snarl this time
Mikezumi had a long chat with Daniella.
I hadn't checked on the boys in a while so I zoomed in on them and found them safe and sound in the hot tub
Amery decided he wanted to play catch with Chance. Since Drew was just breaking boards, I teleported him to the party as well.
Mikezumi came out and chatted with Becky too
When the family got home, I had them rescue Jared and Jensen from the hot tub. I imagine they would get out on their own at some stage but I prefer for them to go to bed earlier rather than later.
@Mikezumi Your pictures don't show for me in your last two posts. They still do in the ones I'd already commented on. I rebooted browser just in case, but, no pics.
Comments
The boys made the bed
While the family were eating breakfast, I decided I would invite the teens' partners over
Mikezumi's waking wish was to train on the MA dummy and Amery's waking wish was to fish.
Drew's waking wish was to garden! I like it when kids roll useful wishes
Beckah rolled a wish to buy a new recipe. She left just as Jared was stepping outside. I like to think he was seeing his daughter off
Chance's waking wish was to hang out with Jensen.
Drew also had a wish to break a board locked in from the previous day.
I found Jensen playing his keyboard in the bathroom.
I saw Jared approaching Chance and was happy to see that he had asked him to play catch
After Amery caught a few fish, he practised dunking
Iggy, Trinity and Merlin arrived at the same time
The teens autonomously danced together I have never seen Beckah dance before so Merlin must be responsible.
I didn't hear any woohoo so I think Jensen was just taking his morning shower. They must have been flirting beforehand and Jared hadn't decided on his next action yet.

Although I have picked a partner for Drew, he doesn't know it yet. I will either wait until the next Prom or until he has been a teen a while longer. He was reading a book on the couch when Jensen came over to watch TV. I had him put the book away and join his dad
I saw Chance about to go down on one knee and quickly zoomed in!
Just as I took my last pic of the boys getting engaged, I got a popup that Amery had mastered the athletic skill!
Although I was zoomed in to Amery, I still had Chance's portrait selected and saw that he was trying for baby! Good thing I don't have teen pregnancy turned on!
I didn't see Amery stop playing BB and was too late to get a pic but I got a popup that he and Trinity were now engaged! I don't know who asked and won't find out until they marry and see what name they get. To think I thought that Amery needed help in the romance department!
I found Chance boasting about to Marlin about his good looks while his dads were getting ready for another woohoo
Drew had a wish to make waffles locked in since breakfast. Jensen let Jared clean the counter this time
It would seem that Marlin is a virtuoso
I'm going to enjoy watching these two dancing when they grow up
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Trinity: "Actually, I'm engaged to your son, Amery."
Jared: "But he's just a kid!"
Mikezumi and Drew were both trying to get to Marlin for a chat but Mikezumi somehow got stuck in the piano!
After chatting, both Trinity and Jared headed to the BB hoop. Jared got there first
Trinity and Iggy ate outside because I forgot to bring out the small table.
Jensen, Merlin and Iggy fought over the dishes.
Amery had a wish to watch the stars with Trinity. Just in case it didn't happen by itself, I had him ask her after dinner.
These two need no help! I caught Chance trying for baby immediately after this!
I gave Beckah a little help as well. Poor Iggy had been trying to do his homework since arriving
I guess these two will do just fine because I found them watching the stars again and it looks like Trinity instigated it
After Marlin left, I sent Beckah to the beach behind the house to catch a bug
Jensen must have stopped Jared's BB game for woohoo.
They ended up in the hot tub and Jensen cuddled Jared for a moment before Jared headed off to bed. It was nearly midnight so the boys were probably exhausted.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
The boys woke not long after the others finished eating. Beckah's waking wish was to hang out with Jared so I had her sit with her dads while they ate.
Chance woke with a wish to practise MA and Drew woke with a wish to spar with someone - perfect!
Amery woke with a wish to catch a great fish. It seems all his morning wishes are to do with fishing
Jared wandered off to play on the computer and let Jensen take care of the dishes
When he was done with the dishes, Jensen went straight to Jared
The glowing red orb on the shower has been driving me insane for about a sim week so I was relieved when Jared triggered it! The boys mostly use the other shower or the outdoor one.
Yellow hair does not suit Jared! LMAO
I got a tad carried away trying to get a good facial expression from Jared so I will put these in a spoiler. Only look at them if you want to see Jared spam :P
The boys made both their own and Mikezumi's bed ... several times
More flowers! Jared is the hopeless romantic so I don't know why Jensen keeps buying the flowers!
Mikezumi finished another ice sculpture. I read the challenges and it seems she needs to do 25 ice sculptures in order to make ones that don't melt. Not sure I feel up to that!
Nikolas Frio came home with Drew
The boys are so excited about doing their homework they are running!
Beckah and Chance got home later because of after school activities.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I checked Nikolas' favourite food (Shawarma) with MC and had Mikezumi prepare it for dinner
Jensen stepped aside this time and let Jared do the dishes
Mikezumi had a wish to take a photo with a friend. As I was lining up the shot, Nikolas photobombed. He was on his way to chat with Jensen.
Drew autonomously went to the board breaker (he has the disciplined trait) and Chance had a wish to level up locked in since the morning.
Amery autonomously fished but Beckah was fishing because she has a wish locked in to master the skill and I wanted to keep her out of the way
Nikolas watched TV with Mikezumi
Chance leveled up
I saw movement from the corner of my eye. It was John Herrerra coming to the lot to fish in the family pond.
Jared and Jensen both went to invite John inside.
But the poor boy was tired so I sent him home with MC.
The boys had some alone time - Jensen played computer games while Jared watched TV.
When Amery's not fishing, he's playing BB!
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
The boys watched the pre-dawn stars
Chance woke up in a bad mood ... CANCELLED!
All the kids rolled wishes to learn the recipe for French Toast but that would take more cooking lessons than I could fit in before they grow up! Not sure why French Toast requires level 9 cooking!
Jensen cleared the dishes.
Amery woke with a wish to do a cardio exercise, so I sent him for a jog.
Beckah rolled a wish to do an ice sculpture while she was at art class the previous day. I cancelled it even though it was worth 1,000 LTR because I don't really want her sculpting but when she rolled the wish again on waking I decided to do it just to keep her out of my hair (and everyone else's!).
Chance woke with a wish to spar with someone. Amery watched Chance and Mikezumi when he got back from his jog.
Although I didn't take a pic, Drew meditated for half an hour before I sent him to water the garden. There were only 3 plants that needed watering so I knew he could do it before the school bus arrived.
The bus had to wait a few minutes for Chance to finish sparring but the kids made it to school on time. Mikezumi won the match and leveled up
I checked on the boys while Mikezumi finished the gardening. Jensen was playing the guitar and Jared was playing chess
At about 9.30 Jared ran out the door and got on his bike. The kids had a field trip and he got the job of chaperone
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I don't know why they take a bus for field trips to the Bistro, Police Station and Theatre because it takes them longer to board the bus than it would to run to those places. Only my teens went.
The kids got home early because of the field trip. When Mikezumi finished a painting and went to Jensen to share a joke, I let her because he had been playing the guitar all day and her social bar was getting low.
Jared got home just as the kids were finishing up their homework. Move aside Mikezumi! Jared's home!
Amery came home with a wish to spar and Chance had a wish to level up locked in. I miss the exciting sparring matches from my 5x5 family!
The boys took a shower together Chaperoning must be dirty work
Drew also came home with a wish to spar with someone. Mikezumi was handy
When Jensen came out of the bathroom he stopped to watch the match. "Don't hurt her! She cooks our meals!" He didn't have to worry - Mikezumi won!
I found Jared tutoring Amery in the backyard.
When Mikezumi finished her sparring match I had her prepare some sushi because it was getting late and sushi requires no cooking
Jared cleared the dishes this time
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Amery had been talking to his dad but got pushed aside
Back at the park, Drew and May watched the stars before I turned romance off for her
I didn't realize the Lothario teens were at the park with their dad because I didn't recognize Don in his work uniform.
That's better!
Beckah got her wish! This triggered two more wishes, both worth a lot of LTR but they got cancelled. She already has 2 big wishes locked in and needs to work on those before growing up.
I decided all the kids should go to the park. When Amery got there he pulled out his phone and chatted with Noel Frio. I need to see if there is a Retuner setting for that!
Melanie asked Amery to watch the stars but he knocked her back. Good boy!
I quickly checked back on the boys and they were doing fine Mikezumi was painting as she had a wish to level up locked in.
Drew got to know his future father-in-law
I keep forgetting to tune tutoring out!
The boys watched the stars before bed
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
He played for about half an hour before Jensen woke and came out for him
Flirting led to the hot tub, where they stayed until Mikezumi called them to breakfast.
Drew woke up in a bad mood. I couldn't get a decent pic because the sleepwear is an adult to teen conversion and it looks like his head is about to fall off on some angles.
He had a wish to hang out with Chance so I let them chat before they went to breakfast. They are such serious looking boys!
Jensen cleared the dishes.
Amery woke with a wish to prepare a meal so I had him make a quick cheese plate. It looks like Jared and Jensen have been slacking off because the counter doesn't turn black unless it has been ignored for a while! When Amery was done, he rolled a wish to hire a butler. If you don't want to cook, don't roll wishes!
I noticed the garden needed more plants, so I had Chance plant a few things while Drew watered.
Beckah's waking wish was to paint something brilliant. I knew she couldn't finish a painting before school but I got her started on one anyway. I rarely lock in wishes to paint something brilliant or a masterpiece because I don't like wishes hanging around for a long time unless they are really big. 750 LTR is not worth the effort, especially since sims will roll many small wishes during the day that can be instantly granted. She also rolled a wish to level up in sculpting but that one was cancelled and the sculpting station is in the family inventory.
Mikezumi is still working on her wish to level up.
Chance played his guitar when he had finished planting the seeds
The boys were ready for more woohoo once the dishes were cleared
I found them in the basement so I can safely assume they had been woohooing in the elevator
It would seem that once was not enough
They went from the elevator to the bed! I need to get these boys into a cold shower! LOL
They finally had enough!
And they were still doing their own thing when Amery and Beckah got home from school.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Beckah came home with a wish to do a cardio exercise.
This is something I rarely see in my game!
Chance and Drew had after school classes so came home late.
Chance came home with a wish to play the guitar. He also had a wish locked in from the morning to learn a new song. I had sent Mikezumi to the bookstore during the day to buy music for him
Drew came home from school wish a wish to set a booby trap.
Beckah got her brilliant painting wish by finishing this masterpiece!
Although you can't see it, Jared is sending off green fumes! The family all had negative moodlets.
It didn't stop Mikezumi from enjoying her favourite meal
Drew's reaction was a hoot!
I had one of the kids distract Jensen so that Jared could get himself cleaned up. A bath would not have been my choice. Who wants to sit in one's own filth?
I had Chance read the recipe for fish and chips and it triggered a wish to prepare some
I bought Mikezumi some bubble bath and let her soak until tranquil If I'd known it would take two hours, I would have let her shower instead
I saw the boys heading out the door together
Unlike his brother, Chance didn't burn his fish and chips
I am trying to get Chance as many skills as possible before he grows up and becomes uncontrollable.
I saw from Amery's thumbnail that he was discussing fine cuisine. I nearly choked on my tea given his earlier blunder in the kitchen!
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
The boys woke at the same time and Jensen went straight to Jared
It's the boys' birthday and I am a little sad that they will lose their youthful beauty
The boys "made the bed"
The family had waffles for breakfast and Chance rolled a wish to make some. I held on to that wish until after school.
Boys! The dishes need to be cleared!
Drew had a wish to catch a vampire fish so I had him fish with garlic. Mikezumi had a wish to catch a great fish and Chance had a wish to fish.
Amery didn't have a waking wish because I had woken him early to fish. I had him water the garden and it triggered a wish to level up.
Beckah woke with a wish to prepare a meal so I had her make pancakes.
The dishes are still there, boys!
Beckah ended up clearing the dishes before she went to school. After Jared got tired of playing chess, he took Jensen down to the basement for woohoo.
At 12 Mikezumi went to the bookstore for an opportunity to improve her logic skill.
I saw §40 being deducted from the family funds
The boys played catch when they were done in the basement.
Chance came home first.
When Mikezumi got home she had a wish to make Sleeping Elixir.
Chance had a wish to use the telescope.
I had him cook the waffles he rolled a wish for while the other teens were doing their homework.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
I'm scared too, Jensen!
He still looks good but has lost his boyishness!
After cake, it was Jared's turn.
I thought he looked a little like Arnold Schwarzenegger here! LOL
Mikezumi doesn't look sure about eating a second serving of cake!
As soon as Mikezumi finished her second helping of cake, she went to Pedro Herrerra's party.
Back at home, Drew went for a jog because he came home from school with a wish to do a cardio exercise.
When Chance finished his cake, I teleported him to the party.
The boys don't seem to mind being older
Becky was there too!
It's a good thing that Mikezumi was still at the party because she would normally go to bed shortly after 10 and the boys were using her bed!
When I saw that Mikezumi had lost interest in the party and was reading a book, I let Chance finish his conversation and sent them home.
As I was getting ready to save my game for the day, I saw Shark Racket was fishing in the family pond
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
The boys watched the pre-dawn stars
I saw the boys heading towards Shark Racket who had been fishing in the family pond but Mikezumi called them to breakfast before they could invite him inside.
Amery got left out when Mikezumi called the family to breakfast but there were spare servings so he didn't go without
Drew got to clear the dishes because his dads were busy, Mikezumi was preparing a perfect quality meal as per her waking wish and Amery was heading out to work on his gardening skill wish.
Chance's waking wish was to practice MA.
Beckah's waking wish was to weed the plants.
Once the kids had gone to school and Mikezumi had finished the gardening, she and the boys went to the bowling alley.
Jensen didn't get to bowl for long because the beautiful Stein arrived and wanted to chat with him
Once Jensen's game had been interrupted, it didn't take long for him to seek out Jared. Before he turned to Jensen, he finished his shot.
Stein didn't seem too happy about his shot
It went better than he thought
I was surprised the boys didn't make use of the photobooth. Instead, Jensen bowled while Jared watched
Shark Racket arrived and interrupted Jensen's game and Jared took advantage of it to start another game. He didn't get to finish, though, because it was almost time to go home.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Amery got home late because he had Sports.
Christin finally arrived but didn't get to do much of her homework because it was Prom night and she got in the limo with my teens.
I thought that Drew's date was a no-show but she arrived after the limo did.
Only Drew had a date since the others are already going steady and I wasn't going to let them stay long anyway.
Mikezumi ended up eating alone because the boys were busy woohooing.
The green tags are my teens. The school was packed! Drew was voted King and is now going steady with May and Beckah was voted Queen. I got a silly pop-up that Beckah had approached her crush and was knocked back but I deleted the negative moodlet because I know there is no way on God's green earth that any sim would knock back one of mine!
When the kids' hunger bars were too low for my comfort, I sent them home for dinner.
While I was organizing the kids, the boys happily entertained each other
Mikezumi had an invitation to Jared Frio's party and she took Chance and Drew.
While talking with the other guests, Chance rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend My boys are sooooo handsome
When the boys got home from the party, I had them rescue their dads from the hot tub because it was getting close to 11pm.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Fishing soon cheered him up ... that and removing the moodlet
Jensen woke about half an hour before Jared and went straight to the piano.
When Jared woke up he went straight outside and mopped up the puddle by the hot tub! It's too late to hide the evidence now, Jared! We all saw you!
Then he went inside to Jensen
Which ended up in them making the bed
It's Saturday morning and I really hate weekends because they can be hectic when the house is full. I have decided I will invite over Trinity, Marlin and Iggy. I won't be inviting May because Drew is still too young to have a girlfriend even though he is going steady with her courtesy of the Prom.
Watering the garden didn't quite get Amery leveled up so I had him fertilize a few plants and that did the trick
Beckah and Drew had wishes to go fishing.
Chance has a wish to reach level 8 in cooking locked in. That will take some time but he should get there while still a teen.
When he was done, he went to the piano and I left him alone because his fun bar needed filling.
Once the dishes were cleared, Jensen and Jared had their morning shower
Trinity and Marlin were easy to find but it took a while to find Iggy. He was fishing clear over the other side of town!
Jensen interrupted Trinity and Amery to tell a joke. Amery looks a little embarrassed ... dad jokes!
Considering how far Iggy had to come, he got to the house not long after the others!
Chance keeps trying for baby! It should be interesting when he is a YA and unselectable!
Drew broke a lot of boards! Maybe I should have invited May over to relieve his frustration Not sure why Amery was in the hot tub. He doesn't normally use it.
I saw Jared heading outside. He was talking with Trinity who had been hanging out in the sand pit. They must have hit it off last time she visited.
When Mikezumi finished her painting, I found her watching Drew break boards and when I told Amery to get out of the hot tub he joined her.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
It didn't end well!
Lesson not learned! She was pillow fighting with Jensen next!
This also ended badly!
I've never seen Chance playing basketball before! I wonder if Mikezumi got to him and told him to improve his skills. Jared and Beckah were playing catch.
Iggy was reading on Chance's bed. Maybe he was escaping the madness!
I saw Drew getting upset and went into map view to see what the problem was. He had the creeped out moodlet because Marlin was speaking madness. I probably shouldn't have had Mikezumi leave crazy drinks on the bar with teens visiting!
So much for escaping the madness! It followed him into the bedroom!
I brought the outdoor table inside so everyone could eat together.
Amery had a wish to watch the stars with Trinity so I helped him out
Mikezumi and Chance attended a party thrown by Connor Shark Racket and his wife were also there
I checked back home and all was well
Trinity had asked Amery to watch the stars as well
Mikezumi was enjoying herself
Chance rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend. I chose Connor
Chance was very pleased with himself
When Chance and Mikezumi got home from the party, they got Jensen and Jared out of the hot tub before heading off to bed.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Jared woke first and went to the bookcase in the kids' room which triggered lots of wishes to talk to him. Easy wishes to grant over breakfast
When Jensen woke a little later and came to flirt with Jared, there were also a couple of wishes to talk to him triggered. I like instant wishes!
The boys managed to get to the elevator for woohoo just before Mikezumi called the family to breakfast.
Amery got his wish to talk to Jared over breakfast but not the one to talk to Jensen. I had him do that while Jared cleared the dishes.
Drew woke with a wish to grow an outstanding lettuce plant and Chance watered the garden because I want him well skilled before I make him unselectable.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to paint something brilliant. When she started the painting, she rolled a wish to paint something worth more than §350. She only got the second wish when she completed it. Better than nothing.
I like her previous painting so I will hang this in her room.
The boys took their morning shower
Amery's waking wish was to fish. I just locked it in and let him take care of it himself Drew has a wish to catch every type of fish locked in. He needs about 4 more to complete it but he did manage to master fishing during the morning
My game is often a little laggy on weekends, probably because sims are not working and are being pushed all over town, so I missed the floating simoleon signs over Chance's head when he learned how to make fruit parfait. His waking wish was to finish a book. Beckah was reading autonomously.
When Chance finished the recipe book, I had him prepare some pancakes for future use. Beckah got up to clean the counter. Drew and Amery were still fishing and Mikezumi is painting off screen. Jared and Jensen were doing what they do best
When the boys had had their fill they went their separate ways. I got a popup that Jared had mastered logic which means he has now completed his LTW
Mikezumi's painting is adorable is definitely a keeper
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Amery must have got tired of fishing and I found him working out on the barre.
I felt it was too quiet for a Sunday so decided to send the family to the park. Jensen and Jared somehow got left at home They had been woohooing just before the family left so the action must have been cancelled.
The park was unusually quiet and only Connor and his son Nikolas were there. The park had been much busier when I looked in map view earlier in the day.
I checked back home and the boys were doing their own thing.
I had planned to have the family go out for dinner after visiting the park but I sent everyone home to eat instead because Jensen and Jared don't have more than hidden childhood cooking skills. There are lots of leftovers in the fridge but I know from an earlier ISBI I played that sims will not always use those, preferring to try to cook for themselves and generally not until they are in the red.
After the dishes had been cleared, I let the family do what they wanted.
Which means lots of drinking in Chance's case
Beckah interrupted his drinking to boast about her gaming skillz. From the pained look in Chance's face, I think he probably needs a few more drinks before dealing with his sister Oops, that could just be a case of projection on my part
Jared and Jensen did what they normally do
Mikezumi's social bar was getting low from starting another painting so I had Amery come chat with her before she went to bed.
Drew stopped training to talk to his brother and rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend
They must have enjoyed it!
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Sweet relief! The weekend is over!
While eating breakfast, Mikezumi rolled a wish to give Amery a friendly hug. He has only one day left as teen
Chance had a wish to catch a vampire fish so I sent him fishing with garlic. He didn't catch one before school but he had a wish to talk to Jensen which was fulfilled over breakfast. Drew can be seen in the background working on his waking wish to paint. Painting triggered a wish to level up which he managed to do before the bus came
Beckah's waking wish was to level up in sculpting. I cancelled it but fortunately she got a wish to talk to Jared fulfilled over breakfast. I had her water the plants in the hope she would roll a wish to level up but she didn't.
Amery's waking wish was to go swimming. Easy!
The boys took their morning shower in the backyard
Jensen then went to watch TV and Jared went to the kids' room to get a book which he read beside Jensen
He must have finished the book
Surprisingly the flirting didn't lead to woohoo.
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
Amery came home alone because the others had after school classes.
While at school, Amery rolled a wish to watch the stars with Trinity so I invited her over when he had finished his homework.
Beckah, Chance and Drew worked on their homework together when they got home.
Drew came home with a wish to catch a bug.
Chance leveled up in piano at Music Class and rolled a wish to learn a new song. He also wanted to do a cardio exercise so I had him go for a jog first, then learn a song. Beckah chatted with Trinity while Amery and Drew chatted. Drew expressed his fondness for Amery Jensen and Jared played catch in the backyard.
Although neither boy wished it, I had them spar because I knew they would enjoy it and they had time to kill while Mikezumi cooked dinner.
Mikezumi had prepared frog legs and Beckah, Chance and Amery rolled wishes to learn the recipe. I gave it to them with MC because there is no way they are going to Champs Les Sims
Mikezumi rolled a wish to visit the library so I sent her on her own. When she arrived, she rolled a wish to finish a book. Not that she hasn't finished about a 100 already!
When I zoomed back to the house to check on the family, I saw that Chance and Beckah had caught fish at the same time Chance was still working on his wish to catch a vampire fish and Beckah is working on wishes to master fishing and to catch all types of fish.
Amery got his wish
While watching the stars, Amery rolled a wish to chat with Trinity so I had him do that before sending her home as it was after 9. Because he had rolled a wish to level up in MA while sparring with Drew I had him train on the dummy. Drew, being disciplined, can often be found breaking boards or training on the dummy
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers

Oh, no! Bummer about the pillow fighting. Wish that didn't happen as I don't have mean sims, and I know you don't either. It should be trait related.
I liked the picture of the girl in the tree at first glance and then did this double take and realize there is a big bad critter crawling up it towards her. DAG! run girl!
Bummer the boys didn't go to the park. I think you can do an invite with MC and get them there if you wanted to try that. It doesn't always work if the sim is working or just being ornery! I've done it a few times before I controlled Adam to get him to where I wanted him to show up when the phone call didn't work.
I love weekends in my saves. I love not having the kids rush to school and doing homework and being able to take them to the beach or one of my parks. It is usually busier, but can spam certain park activities for a few, while I watch the others.
Love the pics of Drew and the butterfly. Pretty scenery in the background.
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
I think that is meant to be a nice monster in the tree with the girl. He looks kind of love sick to me and she is smiling
I didn't think of that! If I take the boys on an outing again and they don't tag along I will try a MC invite. Thanks for the tip.
I also love weekends because I love having the kids at home but it sooooo busy and a sim day takes forever because I want to look at what everyone is doing. What I don't like is trying to work out what pics should be shared because there are generally way too many I guess I make a rod for my own back by letting them mostly do what they want
Zumi and the Winchester Brothers
The Watcher's Caretaker - A Limited ISBI
They watched the stars instead of woohooing - that's one for the books
Because both Jared and Jensen had been in the kids' bedroom many wishes to talk to their dads were rolled. Nice and easy wishes to grant before school
Although Mikezumi doesn't look it, she is thrilled to finally be able to wear clothes she likes!
I sent Drew out to water the garden. It didn't trigger any wishes to level up but he leveled up to 5 anyway
Mikezumi's waking wish was to paint something worth more than §500 and Amery was working on his wish to skill up from the previous day.
Finally! It took 2 days for Chance to catch a vampire fish When he got his wish he rolled another to master fishing. He's over half way through level 9 so it shouldn't take too long
Beckah woke with a wish to sculpt but I cancelled it. Fortunately she had wishes to talk to both dads so she got two wishes before school. She chose to read before the school bus came.
The boys took their morning shower together
After woohooing the boys did their own thing.
The kids had a field trip to the Theatre. Emma was chaperone.
Although there are lots of teens at their school, only my teens attended.
Mikezumi's first painting wasn't worth enough so I had her start another and the boys continued to do their own thing for hours.
I was concerned that Jared might be smelly after playing BB for so long so I had Mikezumi interrupt him. She didn't get a negative moodlet so she must have stopped him in time.
Because Mikezumi interrupted his game, Jared remembered Jensen
Amery was the only one not running! He must know it's his last homework ever and is savouring the moment
It would seem that the boys woohooed because Jensen was dressed when I last saw him
I have no idea why teens need to do homework on their birthday. It's not like they are going to school to hand it in I do make them do it, however, because I have had kids not grow up well because they missed their last homework
I saw Jared heading to the bathroom. Although he wasn't stinky yet, he must have been getting close.
Amery came home from school with a wish to finish a book so I had him read the recipe for fruit parfait. It never hurts to have a few recipes under the belt when heading off on their own. My spares usually prepare better meals at parties than the other townies.

Amery is such a beautiful teen so I hope he ages well!
Interesting look! LOL
So much better! After I closed the game, I realized I gave Amery the wrong hair. It is very similar so I figure it will do.
Mikezumi had an invitation to Daniella Hendrix's party. She took Amery and Chance with her.
Mikezumi went inside and prepared a cheese plate and the boys chatted outside. Becky was there as well
Although Pauline was making funny faces with Chance, she and Amery got hearts. Because Becky was standing on her own, I teleported Beckah there to meet her.
Pedro Herrerra joined the boys to gossip.
@Charlottesmom Becky didn't snarl this time
Mikezumi had a long chat with Daniella.
I hadn't checked on the boys in a while so I zoomed in on them and found them safe and sound in the hot tub
Amery decided he wanted to play catch with Chance. Since Drew was just breaking boards, I teleported him to the party as well.
Mikezumi came out and chatted with Becky too
When the family got home, I had them rescue Jared and Jensen from the hot tub. I imagine they would get out on their own at some stage but I prefer for them to go to bed earlier rather than later.
